Forza Motorsport 6 early access begins today

This Tuesday is going to be a big day for several gamers, with both Destiny: The Taken King and Forza Motorsport 6 hitting shelves after much anticipation. You’ll have to wait for Destiny, but if you’re someone who pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of Forza Motorsport 6, you’ll be able to get early access to Microsoft’s iconic racing game right now. Along with several DLC packs, Ultimate Edition owners get to jump into the game 5 days before anyone else, enjoying the high octane racing that Forza has on offer.

Opening the floodgates on the game a few days early also means that those with the Ultimate Edition get a head start on the contest being held by Microsoft to win a trip to the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, along with $5,000 and the glory of having their gamertag immortalized on the track. If you’ve pre-ordered the game’s Ultimate Edition, feel free to hop into the game right now, before anybody else.

If you want to try out Forza but didn’t pick up the Ultimate Edition of the game, then don’t worry. You can’t get into the full game until it’s released on Tuesday, but you can check out the free demo on the Xbox store. It’s a great option for those who didn’t want to splurge on the Ultimate Edition, or even people who are on the fence about the game, and want to try it out before they take the dive and decide if they want to purchase it.
